Footage from a game camera owned by a Mississippi couple
drew lots of comments last week after it apparently showed an unusual lighted
object hovering above a field full of deer. Rainer and Edith Shattles said they
didn't have an explanation for the lights, which appeared over their Jackson County property before seemingly disappearing into the night sky.

Not so fast, however, according to the Alabama-based company
that makes the game cameras used to capture the footage.

"The big clue is that the UFO is lined up symmetrically over
the deer, where the eyes would be," Bart Stephens from Moultrie, the
Alabaster-based company that makes the motion activated cameras, told NBC News.

The "UFO" seen in the picture is actually the reflections of
the deer's eyes, bouncing around inside the infrared camera, Stephens said. The apparition is the distorted image of the deer and its eyes,
reflected as part of phenomenon known as blowback.

(One sharp-eye AL.com reader, thought the same thing, as you
can see from Yakinabe's comments here).

Moultrie's marketing manager hinted this isn't the first
time the company has explained away such otherworldly scenes.

"It helps when you look at thousands of these things," Boyd Barnett
said.

Rainer Shattles said he's still not convinced the images were just a camera trick.

"If it's a government drone, coming through that area
at night, they need to speak up," he said. "But they're not going to say
anything."
